Subject: [EVA][FanFic][Lemon] Body Heat Date: 5 Nov 1999 14:13:28 GMT From: "Axel Terizaki" Organization: NERV Newsgroups: rec.arts.anime.creative Followup-To: rec.arts.anime.fandom BODY HEAT Written by Axel Terizaki (aterizak@club-internet.fr; axelt@fanfiction.net; ICQ# 34301980; IRCNet: #teri-chan), as well as... Disaster (disaster@active.net.au; yer not getting my ICQ# unless you've been real nice to me via e-mail first! :P) Retooled by Dave Watson (aj153@freenet.carleton.ca), 1999 10 22-11 01. Release Version 1.0 ASUKA's Notebook: http://asuka.notebook.eu.org Disaster's Fan-Fiction: http://www.active.net.au/~disaster -LEMON WARNING- Disaster: "Yes, this is a lemon. That means that it contains sexual material, and is not suited for people under the age of 18. If you're not 18 or older, don't read this. If you aren't and you do, and the cops come to my door because you read this, I'll hunt you down and shoot you." Axel: "But who cares? I'm the author as well, and I'm only 17 1/2!" Disaster (glaring at Axel): "Yer *not* supposed to tell them that, Axel!!! Besides, this is only a friendly warning that no one will really heed, anyways." Axel: "That's what you get for sending me a Word document to work with. I had to repair the formatting harm this sucker did to my precious fic!" Disaster (surprised): "*Your* precious fic? Yours, huh? Is that what you really think? Well, let me tell you about working till hours in the morning that God doesn't know about..." The two authors throw a few barbed remarks at each other, then settle for death glares as the half-asleep audience suddenly realizes that the fic is finally ready for review. Asuka (to Rei, in the front seat of the theater): "I don't think those two will ever work together again. Disaster seems awfully angry!" Rei: "Don't worry, he's always like that after working non-stop till dawn. I think it's the caffeine. Does Axel always try to gouge his friends' eyes out?" Asuka (blushing): "Well, only when you wake him up too early in the morning, I guess." Asuka and Rei look over inquisitively to the older man sitting near them. He turns to face them. Watson: "Hey, don't ask me. I just deal with the final results. Pass the popcorn, please." --- CAPTION: NEON GENESIS EVANGELION CAPTION 2: Body Heat --- It's a Monday morning in Tokyo-3. Sohryu Asuka Langley looks out at the shining sun from the apartment balcony. Asuka (happily): "What a wonderful day!" However, fate demands that Ikari Shinji should interrupt her moment of peace. Shinji: "Asuka, we're going to be late for school." Asuka (turning back towards him and frowning): "I know that, you idiot!" Shinji: "Sor-" Asuka: "Yeah, I *know* that you're sorry! Humpf!" Shinji (to himself): "Great. She's in a bad mood already." --- School. Asuka and Shinji enter their homeroom class at the same time. Only Hikari and a few other students are here at this time. Of course, Rei is here, sitting at her usual desk, looking out the window. Hikari: "You're finally here!" Asuka: "Yeah, late. Thanks to Shinji!" Shinji: "Huh? Thanks to who?" Hikari: "It's strange. The weather report today said it was going to be hot, but don't you think the air is a bit chilly for this sun?" Asuka (shivering a bit): "Now that you mention it, it was warmer only a few minutes ago." The teacher walks in, and Hikari does her 'rise, bow, sit down' routine. Five minutes later, Kensuke and Toji walk into class, and they end up holding buckets of water out in the hallway as punishment for their tardiness. --- After the school day finally ends, Asuka, Rei and Shinji are walking home. Asuka has both her arms wrapped around herself in an attempt to keep some warmth in her body. Asuka (shuddering): "What's this damn weather doing!?" Shinji: "I don't know, Asuka. The sun disappeared behind the clouds really quickly this morning, and..." He is interrupted by the feeling of drops of cold on his face. Snow is now falling, and within a few seconds, it starts coming down heavily, whipped around by a sudden gust of wind. Asuka: "And now a SNOWSTORM! This SUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!!!" However, Asuka isn't able to complain for long. Misato suddenly pulls up out of nowhere in her car, stops beside them and rolls down her window. Misato: "Get in, you three! There's an Angel attack!" Shinji: "Really? Then why don't we hear all the sirens?" Misato: "I'll explain it to you all on the way. Quick, jump in!" The three do as ordered by the Major. Once everyone is inside, the car quickly peels away from the curb. Shinji: "Misato-san, you shouldn't drive so fast! All the roads must be really slippery by now." Misato: "Don't worry about that." Asuka (in the back seat, voice dripping with sarcasm): "Shinji! Aren't you forgotting that Misato is the safest driver in all of Tokyo-3?" Shinji (chuckling): "Oh, yeah, right." Misato: "Here's the situation: The MAGI detected a Blue pattern right in the middle of the mountains west of Tokyo-3. It's strange, but... the Angel seems to be just sitting there doing nothing. That's why we're gonna start with a recon mission. This weather won't help, obviously, and besides..." Shinji sighs while Asuka smiles happily at the thought of another victory. Rei simply listens to Misato's detailed briefing. --- Command Center. Misato: "Are you all ready to go?" Shinji, Rei and Asuka (in perfect unison): "Yes." Misato: "Okay! Evas, Launch!" The three giant robots are launched towards the now-snowy surface of Tokyo-3. Asuka opens a comm channel to the Command Center. Asuka: "We can't see anything out here! The storm is screwing up our visibility!" Misato: "Advance with caution. NERV didn't really have weather like this in mind when they created the EVAs, so we really don't know if the ice and snow will have any effect on your mobility." Maya: "The MAGI report the pattern to be north of your current position, about 600 meters." Shinji: "Got it." The three Evas slowly begin to head towards the mountains. They walk carefully, not knowing what dangers the excessive wind and the icy terrain might pose. Misato: "This is so strange." Ritsuko: "Too strange to be real. The barometer has been dropping for a few days now, but this is just so sudden." Rei (quietly): "Is this what winter is supposed to be like?" Misato: "Errrr, well, kinda." (to herself:) "In Canada before Second Impact, that is." As the three Evas carefully crawl up the hill to check out the Angel, a long and loud beep can be heard inside the Command Center. Shigeru: "Contact with the Angel lost." Makoto: "The Blue pattern disappeared!" Misato: "Huh?!" Ritsuko (muttering): "I hate mysteries." Shigeru: "MAGI have picked up a transmission. Three nanoseconds long, seems to have been fired off upwards into space, ma'am." Ritsuko: "Space?" Makoto: "Confirmed. All MAGI agree, the transmission beamed off into outer space, no apparent reception, possible passive reception. The signal will collide with Neptune, eventually." Asuka: "We're at the top of the hill now. We can't see anything but snow." Fuyutsuki arrives at Gendo's office via an elevator and walks over to stand at his side. Fuyutsuki: "Ikari. I have disturbing news..." Gendo: "About the weather?" Fuyutsuki (with a brief smile): "Heh. Interesting cliche, but rather relevant now. Reports on the surface show that the weather change was manufactured. These kinds of patterns in the weather are just not possible under the current circumstances. People are still using air conditioners in other parts of Japan, no more than 13Km's from the edge of the city." Gendo: "Interesting. Call in agent Ryuji Kaji. I have a job for him." Fuyutsuki: "Is this part of the scenario as well?" Gendo (through a slight smile hidden behind his gloved hands): "No. Not even an accelerated one." --- The next day. Rei is walking to school, bundled up in every piece of winter clothing she had just purchased earlier. Rei: "What strange weather." She watches the snow lightly cascade to the ground, covering it in a blanket of white. She finally arrives at school, a bit later than usual, due to the fact that she had to learn how to use a NERV credit card, then actually use it to buy some cold-weather clothing. That, and she had spent some time inspecting the snow carefully, wondering at how pure and cold it was. Half of the students were absent. The only ones who were there were freezing and shivering, even in the warmest clothing they could find. Obviously, Toji and Kensuke took this opportunity to skip classes. Asuka, Shinji and Hikari were already there. Asuka (shivering): "This damned weather! This REALLY sucks!" Shinji (freezing): "W-we already k-know, Asuka." Asuka (whining): "Why couldn't Misato let us stay at home like everyone else?" As the class is about to begin with the arrival of their teacher, the three pilots' cell phones ring in unison. Asuka digs through all the layers of clothing she had bought earlier, frantically trying to find her phone. Everyone can hear her curse loudly in German until she finally finds it. Shinji and Rei are already listening to Misato's voice over their respective cell phones. Misato: "Listen, everybody. Another Angel popped up out of nowhere. I'm on my way to pick you up, so get ready to go. There's no time to waste." *click* Asuka, Rei and Shinji put their phones in their schoolbags and leave the classroom under the curious looks of the few present, envious students. On their way to the street facing the school, Asuka decides to break the silence. Asuka: "Damn, I bet we're going to end up wasting our time again!" Shinji (shivering): "I'm afraid so..." Rei: "The Major seemed to be in a hurry. It might be more important this time." Shinji: "Let's hope you're right, Ayanami." Asuka: "Hmpf..." Misato finally arrives, and everyone jumps into her car. Misato: "Ritsuko will explain everything at Headquarters." With that, they set off, Misato trying to drive carefully to avoid skidding across the icy roads and crashing. --- Half an hour later. Asuka, Shinji and Rei are in their plugsuits, waiting for the briefing to begin. They'd managed to make it there without any accidents, but the car did skid a little on the way, which had put everybody (except Rei) on edge. Ritsuko: "Okay, children." Misato is sitting on a chair next to her, listening carefully. Ritsuko: "The same Blue pattern appeared in another spot in the mountains to the west. But we've a got problem." Asuka (sighing): "Which is?" Ritsuko: "A severe storm is quickly approaching. All the roads and tunnels to and from this valley have been blocked off by snow. That's why Eva-01 and Eva-02 will have to be airlifted there. This means you'll have to complete your mission without any power cables. Then, break your way out of the valley before your batteries run out. The MAGI will be doing most of the surveillance through your Evas' sensors, but a running commentary would be welcome." Shinji: "It's gonna be tough." Ritsuko: "Once you two get there, you'll have the standard five minutes to make your way out of the valley. Do not engage the Angel." Misato: "Rei will be airlifted to just outside the valley, along with three portable power generators. If the Angel engages with you, she'll cover you while you connect to the generators." Asuka: "Sure. It'll be fun being chased by an imaginary Angel." Ritsuko: "This is not a joke, Asuka. The MAGI indicated an error percentage of 0.0001%. This is just a recon mission." Asuka sighs. Misato: "Your mission is simple. You land inside the valley, take a look around, then go to Rei's location, where she'll be waiting for you with your power cables. Understood?" The three children snap to attention. Rei, Asuka and Shinji: "Yes, ma'am!" --- The two giant robots are now being lifted high into the air by F-type jets, like they were during the first battle against the Seventh Angel, Israphel. Asuka (whining): "What a stupid mission! And the storm is getting closer!" Shinji (looking down): "Strange. The clouds are getting really heavy over our landing site. I have a bad feeling about this..." Asuka: "Quit whining! At least Wondergirl's already there." Shinji: "Who's whining!?" Asuka: "Awww, come on..." Looking down, they can see Unit 00 and various NERV technicians, recovering from their own drop, rushing to get the portable generators up and running. They seem to be having a little trouble; however, it's difficult to tell from that height. Maya: "Tech crews report difficultly in getting the generators started, Sempai. They have Rei's working, but the others aren't engaging properly." Ritsuko (grimly): "Well, if we have to, we can plug all three Units into the one generator." Misato (into the comm link): "Are you two ready?" Asuka and Shinji: "Yes, ma'am!" Misato: "Okay! Evangelion, disengage!" As soon as Misato's words come out, the two Evas are released from their aerial restraints. They fall on the snowy ground inside the valley with a loud crash. As the children fully activate their Evas, Shinji notices something strange. Shinji: "Misato-san! We only have three and a half minutes left!" Misato: "Ritsuko?!" Ritsuko: "The batteries must be affected by the cold. This is unexpected." Misato: "Shinji, Asuka! Cut your search time to an absolute minimum, understood?!" Asuka: "Yeah, we hear you!" Ritsuko (looking at a display screen): "The MAGI all agree on that. We should have guessed. The Evas still have time to do a full search and get out." The two Evas began to slowly walk through the valley, searching for traces of the Angel. Asuka: "That's absolute nonsense! My Eva shows a Blue pattern on the monitor, but there's nothing here--" She is interrupted by the loud crashing sound of Eva Unit 01 falling to the ground. Asuka: "Shinji, you idiot! What happened!?" Unit 01 painfully stands up and looks over its shoulder. Shinji: "I...I just stumbled on something..." As the snow begins to clear a bit, Asuka sees the round, red object which Shinji had caught his Eva's foot on. Shinji (confused): "Looks like an Angel's core!" Asuka: "Well, that must be the source. We can't waste time. Let's get out ...auuuugh!" Then, without any warning, it explodes. Misato: "Shinji! Asuka!" Shigeru: "The Blue pattern just disappeared!" The two Evas were caught in the explosion. It wasn't big enough to damage the Evas, but it did rip open the ground and exposed a large underground cavern. The giant robots fall deep inside the cavern, hitting its floor with a strong, rumbling crash. Misato: "Dammit!" Ritsuko: "Communications with the Evas are fading out! The storm is moving in extremely fast. Its central cell has accelerated and turned directly for the valley." Makoto: "The F-jets can't stay any longer. The wind is building too fast. They're returning to base. In about 37 seconds the relays on the jets will be too far from the Evas to be effective. We're gonna lose communications with them completely." Misato: "But we can't leave them alone like that! We can't abandon them!" Ritsuko: "I'm afraid there's no other solution right now. The blizzard is getting too strong." Misato (slamming her fist on the table next to her): "Shit! WHY DO THINGS LIKE THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN!!?" --- It's very dark inside Asuka's entry plug. Asuka rubs her head and groans a bit from the pain. She then tries to open a comm channel to the Command Center, but to no avail. "COMMUNICATIONS IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO METEOROLOGICAL INTERFERENCE." Asuka: "Oh, great! And I only have 30 seconds of power left. I guess the best thing to do is shut down the Eva for now." Asuka's entry plug gets even darker, and the humming of the life support system can be heard, but only for a few seconds, before it completely shuts down, too. Asuka: "W-what!?" "LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM INOPERATIVE." Asuka: "Mein Gott, this suc-" She is interrupted by some noise outside. She feels her entry plug being ejected. Soon, the light comes back inside her plug, via the opening safety hatch. It's Shinji. Asuka: "Aaaah! What's that cold!?" Shinji: "You okay?" Asuka: "Y-yeah, I am! But why's it so damn cold!?" Shinji: "Come out and you'll see." Asuka follows Shinji out of her entry plug. Their Evas had fallen next to each other in a very large underground cave, the only light present coming from above. Asuka looks up and sees, with horror, the giant hole where they had fallen in, where the cold was also coming from. Asuka: "Great. Simply great." They had fallen into a huge cavern with no apparent exits. The walls are cast in shadowy darkness, as the only source of light is the hole overhead and not much was coming through that. Snow slowly falls in, lightly dusting the Evas. The air in the cavern is still, but the wind whistling high above makes the two pilots shiver. It isn't too cold now, but the temperature will drop soon, and they know it. --- NERV's Command Center. Misato is slumped in a chair on the main bridge, drinking a hot cup of coffee. Maya: "We can only get status reports through this storm, Major." Misato (taking a sip of her coffee): "And what do they say?" Maya: "Life support systems from both Evas have been damaged." Misato: "What!?" An elevator behind them opens. Ritsuko steps out and looks at Maya's monitor. Ritsuko: "They're probably freezing by now." Misato: "Can't we go and rescue them!?" Makoto: "Negative, Major. We don't have any flying machine strong and stable enough to face this storm. Plus, parachutists wouldn't be able to make it. The high winds would steal the chute long before they could make it to the cavern they seem to be in." Misato: "Dammit...! And Rei?" Shigeru: "Still on standby at the edge of the valley. The crews have all found shelter. They reported that the other two generators had run for about 1.5 minutes before seizing up completely in the cold." Misato opens a comm channel to Unit 00. The image and sound are very blurred and unstable. Misato: "Rei?" Rei: "Yes." Misato: "Shut your Eva down for now and lay it down on the ground to lower wind resistance. We can't bring you in while the roads are still blocked. Just wait for further orders." Rei: "Yes." She then closes the communication link. Misato: "Now, I guess all we can do is wait." Shigeru: "The MAGI report that Rei's power generator has just partially seized up, probably from the cold. None of our equipment was designed to work in this environment." Misato: "Oh, god, anything for some good news." Ritsuko: "Well, it's still working, a little. Rei has gone into life-support mode. She's handling her situation well; everything by the book. The generator has shut down its own cooling system and shifted its last turbine into high. It'll use up the last of the fuel quickly but it should still run hot for some time." Misato: "Good. At least Rei will be fine. We can worry about the others for now. Any ideas?" A stillness descends over the room as the occupants consider how to rescue the young pilots. Eventually, Misato finishes her own coffee and accidentally picks up Ritsuko's for her next sip. The Major doesn't know that it's freshly made and still boiling hot. Misato (in a high octave range): "EEEEEEIIIIOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!! Ritsuko! This must be yours!" Misato hands back the coffee with a slight blush as the rest of the crew hides their quiet chuckles as best as they can. Maya (excitedly): "I know!" Misato: "What? That it was hot?" Maya: "No. Well, yes, but that's not what I know!" Misato (confused): "Huh?" Maya: "I think I know a way to help the children..." Maya then explains her plan, to the smiles and frowns on everyone's faces. If the authors had listened, they might have been able to include her dialogue here, but Axel was too busy trying to fit more WAFFy scenes in and Disaster was occupied with his hair. --- Asuka and Shinji are both sitting against a shallow corner of the cave, their breathing making streams of mist in the cold air. Asuka (shivering): "We're all alone here." Shinji (shuddering): "Y-yeah. In the cold... I hope the rescue teams will come soon." Asuka: "Hmpf, with this weather? Those loafers from NERV aren't going to come for us this soon!" Shinji (through chattering teeth): "I'm s-sure that Mi-misato-san is doing her b-best!" Asuka (sarcastically): "Oh, sure! Misato would do anything in order to save her sweet little Shin-chan!" Shinji: "Come on, sh-she'd do it for you, t-too!" Asuka: "Tssssk!" She looks away, faking a pout, and pulls her legs close to her body to try to keep some warmth. Shinji shrugs, shifts his weight against the stone wall behind him and closes his eyes. The silence after that is almost deafening. Asuka (to herself): "What a baka! Of course, she'd do it for me, too! But he's her favourite!" She sighs. The time passed slowly and snow continued to cover the Evas. Asuka (to herself): "Snow. It's the first time I've seen some with my own eyes since I came to Tokyo-3. I wonder if Shin... what is the baka doing!?" She turns to face Shinji. Asuka: "Say..." Shinji: "..." Asuka: "SLEEPING? We're stuck in this storm and this idiot's SLEEPING? Unbelievable! SHINJIIIIIIIIIIIII!" Shinji: "..." She grabs his shoulders and shakes him. Asuka: "BAKA! WAKE UP!" Shinji (slightly opening his eyes): "Mmmmh..." Asuka: "Wake up, I said!" Shinji (not fully conscious yet, teeth chattering): "Hmmm...? Wh- what...? The-the-the r-rescue teams... are c-coming?" Asuka: "No, but the Ev..." Shinji (sitting back against the stone wall): "T-then lemme sleep." Asuka, to herself: "Shit! This imbecile will freeze! He'll end up in a coma!" She grabs and shakes him again, and shouts in his face. Asuka : "S-Stay awake! Baka!" Shinji: "W-what?" Asuka: "S-sit up a-against m-me, to warm you u-up...but d-don't you dare try t-to take a-advantage of me, got that?!" (to herself:) "Damn! It's so cold... NO! Why did I say that? I mustn't think about that!" Shinji (faintly, closing his eyes): "I would... n-never do that..." Asuka: "Shinji! S-stay awake, please! Say something to me!" He opens his eyes again, with difficulty, as he feels the cold trying to shut him down. Shinji: "S-say w-what...?" Asuka: "A-anything..." Shinji (drifting back to sleep): "I-I want to sleep..." Asuka: "I-I k-know, but you sh-shouldn't... Shinji!" Shinji (suddenly opening his eyes again): "Y-yes... don't shout like t-that..." Asuka: "It's j-just..." Shinji: "W-what...?" Asuka (smiling): "I d-don't want you to d... die in my a-arms!" Shinji (closing his eyes again): "...oh..." Asuka doesn't know whether to laugh or cry now. Asuka, chuckling: "H-hey, don't be s-stupid. You know p-perfectly well th... Shinji! S-SCHIEST!! Don't go to s-sleep!" Shinji (eyes still closed): "...Th-this..." Asuka: "W-what?" Shinji (sighing): "It's not your f-fault." Asuka feels a strange impulse overtake her. Asuka: "Shinji!!" With that, she leans over him and kisses him. The kind of kiss that the heroine gives to the hero when she knows it'll be his last. Feeling the warmth of her lips on his, Shinji thinks that he's already dreaming, but a tear drips onto his cheek, and he opens his eyes again. He can see Asuka wipe her eyes. Asuka (in a shaky voice): "Shinji? Are-are you okay?" Shinji (blinking): "I-I think so." She then hugs him with a strength born of both kindness and relief. Surprised, but too groggy to realize what's happening, he closes his eyes and lets himself sink into Asuka's warm embrace. Then, again, he feels their lips meeting. This time, he returns the kiss, in the same way it was given to him. A blast of hot air invades his mind, and he decides to be more bold. Asuka then slowly breaks the kiss. She notes that the closeness to Shinji was more pleasurable than she had thought possible, especially in the cold. Asuka (whispering quietly): "Shinji?" Shinji: "Y...yeah?" Asuka (softly): "Your breath is very warm." Shinji (a bit confused): "I-It is?" Asuka (grinning): "Yeah. Do you mind if I borrow some?" Shinji (now very confused): "H-how?" He has no time to ponder this, as Asuka takes his head in her hands and plants a firmer kiss right on his lips. At least, this kiss was more enjoyable than the first one they did at home, when she sadistically pinched his nose, or the kisses they'd shared just now. He quickly finds himself welcoming the closeness this kiss involves. The cold becomes almost secondary as he unconsciously wraps his arms around her in a firmer and more intimate embrace. Responding to his new enthusiasm, Asuka moves her arms down, hugs him even tighter and adjusts her weight, pushing into him as he rests against the wall of stone behind his back. The plug suits they're wearing are definitely not the best clothing for cold weather, though they are arguably the best thing to wear for passionate embracing. Asuka's nipples are erect, hardened from the cold and now from the passion she had found in Shinji. Oddly, the press of Asuka's nipples into his chest had a new effect on Shinji. Normally, he would be terrified of her if he thought that she knew he could feel her body, but he's somehow sure that it's different for her now. His hand roams down her back, leaving a trail of warmth along the back of her thin plug suit, and comes to rest on her shapely posterior. Asuka moans into the kiss and stiffens a little, though the nervousness of her first real passionate experience is quickly replaced by the feelings that are suddenly overwhelming her. Her fear of being touched is being replaced by a desire to have Shinji touch her constantly in places where she wouldn't have let anyone put their hands before. Shinji suddenly feels Asuka's hands grope his chest and eventually make their way down to his groin. As her lips warm his own, he feels his blood rushing and his body rising to the moment; literally, in some areas. He's surprised at his own reaction, allowing Asuka to fondle that which he would never let her near otherwise, for safety reasons. Lust streams through his body as he squeezes her ass with one hand and brings his other hand up to her breasts. The plug suits leave very little to get through as they explore each other's body. It never once occurs to either of them that taking off the suits would make it feel even better. Shinji notices that Asuka has closed her eyes as his hands cup her breasts. He softly squeezes her through the plug suit, which causes Asuka to shiver, finally from something other than the cold. Shinji (whispering): "Asuka, turn around." After giving him a curious look, she turns so that she is pressing her back into his chest. He can now smell the mix of LCL and shampoo in her auburn hair. The smell is literally intoxicating to him. Wrapping his arms around her once more, Shinji tilts her head up so that he can kiss her again. With her attention focussed on his mouth and away from her own body, Asuka is rather surprised when Shinji's hand suddenly falls from her breast to between her legs. Asuka (moaning): "Hmmm..." Remembering something that Kensuke told him about a video he'd seen, Shinji starts to rub Asuka's groin, and keeps her legs wide open by trapping them with his own. Asuka (smiling): "Pervert." Her own hand now covers his, pressing it into the fabric of the plug suit, causing further friction on the fabric over her vagina. Meanwhile, Shinji's other hand softly kneads her breast. Asuka starts to squirm under his touch. Asuka: "Shinji... pinch my nipple..." Wondering why he hadn't done this yet, Shinji presses the little nub of flesh between his thumb and forefinger, which makes Asuka yelp. Asuka: "Ouch! Hey, not so hard! You're not trying to take it off, you know!" With that, she jumps a little, breaking the embrace and the moment. She's not able to get her legs free from Shinji's, so she doesn't get very far. Shinji (mumbling in defense): "Uh, well, umm, I'm sorry. It's my first time, you know." Asuka (smirking): "Well, you're not doing too badly for a first- timer. Just do it a little gentler, okay?" Shinji: "Don't try to fool me into believing that this is your first time." Asuka (sly grin): "Oh, you'll find out, sooner or later." Asuka's wicked grin seems to give Shinji more confidence than he ever had before. She takes his hand and gently places it between her open legs again, before closing her eyes to enjoy the feeling to the fullest. Asuka (softly): "Hmmm, more, please..." He presses his hand into her suited flesh and works it around again. Shinji's willing captive shudders with the sensation and gladly falls back under the assault of his gentle hands. Shinji (whispering into her ear): "Practice makes perfect." Asuka is a little surprised when Shinji starts to nibble her ear. She had relaxed into his arms, resting on his body and letting him control the situation. She turns her head and kisses him as deeply as she can, using both of her hands to hold his head to her mouth, as her now undefended body surrenders completely to his ministrations. Rubbing hard and fast, Shinji is soon rewarded with a squirming and wiggling Asuka to handle. He presses his hand as hard as he can into her womanhood and fondles her breast more aggressively. Asuka responds by kissing him harder, and starts to gyrate her hips, lifting herself up off the ground, as Shinji holds her down with his hands, pressing her back into his body. He can feel her body start to tense up, and he knows it won't be much longer until... unable to breathe fast enough through her nose, Asuka breaks the kiss and looks into Shinji's eyes. Asuka (groaning): "Shinji, I'm, I... uh, I..." That's all she's able to say before wave after wave of orgasmic energy tear through her body. She stiffens, pushing herself back into Shinji. Asuka (mouth wide open): "AAAAHHHH! God, don't stop, keep going!" She screams her request, and Shinji obliges, resuming his frantic rubbing against the groin of her plug suit, almost without pause. Asuka writhes and squirms, breathing erratically as her passion engulfs her mind and body, driving out the cold. Asuka (panting): "Aahh... ahh... ah..." As her orgasm finally dies away, she resumes a more regular breathing pattern. She falls back into Shinji, only to notice something pressing up against her backside that she hadn't felt earlier. She looks up at his face, the two of them blushing heavily. Asuka: "Shinji, if Misato or your idiotic friends ever find out about what just happened, I'll make sure you'll never be able to have children!" Shinji (not expecting that): "W-what!?" Asuka (blushing): "Well, that was... pleasurable. But I swear that if I hear about this from anyone else, you're gonna pay for it!" Shinji (looking away): "Huh, sure..." Asuka (sighing): "At least I don't feel the cold anymore." Shinji: "Me, neither. Just being close to you makes me forget about it." Asuka: "Oh, cut the crap." Shinji (reflexively): "I'm sorry..." Asuka: "Hmph..." Pause. Asuka: "We can't fall asleep, otherwise we'll freeze to death here. Maybe we should talk. What do you think?" Shinji: "Yeah. We should keep each other busy." His hand roams a bit around her breast. Asuka let a slight moan escape her lips. Asuka: "Well, I'll ALLOW you to rub my breasts like that. It keeps me warm. You're good enough for that, at least." Shinji (smiling): "If you say so." Asuka (whispering into his ear): "Do you really think Misato will come for us?" He nods. His hands had never left her body all this time. Instead, he had gripped her tighter, wrapping himself around her as best as he could. She really seemed to be a lot warmer now. They try to keep each other awake by talking and errr, well, doing some other... activities. --- NERV's Command Center. Ritsuko: "The MAGI report that the storm won't blow over for another two days. However, it might calm down in a few hours." Makoto: "The UN will lend us one of their super jets for a supply drop, but that's all they can do right now." Misato (grinning with excitement): "Well, for now, that's great! Just as long as they can stay alive!" Ritsuko: "A supply drop is all we can do for them at the present moment. At least we can get it done in only two hours with little risk to all involved. Maya, how's the work on the communications coming?" Maya: "Good news, Sempai. The MAGI have identified a pattern in the storm. A very erratic pattern, but it's there. Apparently, at different times, various useful wavelengths can get through the storm's interference. However, the channel will be open only for a little while and the signal will probably be weak, but sound should be relatively clear." Misato (sighing): "Finally, a plan that seems to be working." --- In the meantime, Rei is still waiting in her entry plug for some instructions. However, none are forthcoming. Rei: "..." Rei sighs, closes her eyes and starts to think. --- Gendo's Office in Terminal Dogma. Kaji is seated on the front edge of Gendo's desk. Kaji (placing a yellow envelope on the desk): "That's all I discovered during my investigation." Gendo (ignoring the envelope): "SEELE is responsible for the weather?" Kaji nods. Gendo: "How?" Kaji: "I heard that they are using a satellite above Tokyo-3 in coordination with ground modules to modify the weather. As far as I can tell, it's only for experimental reasons. It does have something to do with Angel-related technology, though. That could explain the disappearing Angel we've been having trouble with. The ground modules are very similar to the cores of the Angels we've encountered so far." Gendo: "So, we're serving as Guinea pigs?" Kaji: "Looks that way." Gendo: "You are dismissed, Agent Ryuji." Kaji (in an irritatingly unintimidated voice): "Have a nice day." He then turns around and leaves Gendo's office. --- Outside, the storm seems to finally let up a bit. Inside the cave, we can see Asuka tightly wrapped in Shinji's arms and resting her head on the torso of his plugsuit. The two teens had fallen asleep, despite their best efforts to stay awake. Suddenly, the muted screaming of the wind over-head is broken by a weak and distorted voice. It's Misato. It seems that the Command Center had succeeded in opening the comm channel to Eva-01. Misato: "...nji? Shinji?" Shinji slowly opens his eyes. Misato: "Shinji!" Shinji: "Mi...Misato-san! Asuka, wake up!" He shakes her to wake her up. She scowls at him for waking her up that way, but at least she wakes up. Asuka (to herself): "After what we did, a kiss would have been much nicer, baka!" (to Shinji:) "Hmm... Shinji, what's going on?" Shinji: "Unit-01! NERV is contacting us now!" Asuka (enthusiastically): "Really!?" Shinji: "Really. Misato-san woke us up!" He then shudders, thinking about what Asuka had said would happen to them if they fell asleep. Both of them jump to their feet and run towards Unit 01. They then climb up to the little holographic screen on its side. The image is still unstable, but the sound is coming through clearly. Misato: "Shinji! Asuka! Are you all right!?" Shinji (happily): "Misato-san! We're so happy to see you!" Asuka: "What's going on?" Misato: "The storm is keeping us from communicating freely, so I'm keeping this short. We've borrowed a super jet from the UN. It will allow us to drop some supplies for you into the cave." Asuka: "Really!?" Misato: "Unfortunately, we can't come and rescue you yet. The wind is still too strong for a VTOL [Vertical Take Off and Landing aircraft] to approach." Shinji: "Oh." Misato: "Don't worry, though. We'll be dropping food, coffee, thermal clothing, things like that. Ritsuko might want to add a few things. I'm not sure yet." Asuka: "Finally! I was beginning to starve to death, never mind the cold!" Misato: "The supply drop will come in one hour, okay? Cheer up, we'll rescue you soon. The storm will calm down enough for us to get you two out a lot sooner then we can get the Evas o--" The comm link sputters, crackles and cuts out before Misato can finish her sentence. --- Command Center. Misato slumps back in her chair and lets out a tired sigh. Misato: "I hope they'll be all right..." Ritsuko puts a hand on Misato's shoulder. Ritsuko: "They're good kids. I'm sure they'll be fine." The door opens and a technician pokes his head in. Technician: "Excuse me, Major." Misato: "Go away, I'm thinking." Technician: "But, it's about Unit 00." Misato (nervous): "What is it? Is Rei in trouble? Has the Eva been damaged?" Technician: "Well, errr, no, not..." Misato (irritated): "Well, then don't bother me unless it's an emergency, like an Angel attack! Got it?" Technician (jumping to attention): "Yes, ma'am! Sorry, ma'am! I won't bother you any more." With that, the poor man practically runs from the room. Ritsuko is curious, though. She had heard nothing about Unit 00 since the operation was cut short. Ritsuko: "I wonder what he was going to say..." Misato (getting even more irritated): "Who cares? Our main concern now is Shinji and Asuka's well-being. If the Evas aren't destroyed, then they're fine! I don't think we really have to worry about Rei." Ritsuko isn't quite sure, though. Ritsuko (to herself): "Well, if it's important, we'll find out." The scientist and chairperson for Project E decides to make the well- trained staff at NERV HQ fully responsible for alerting them to any possible major disasters. --- Meanwhile, in Eva Unit 00, Rei is still waiting. She still hasn't received any instructions. Apparently, she has been forgotten about, but this doesn't occur to her. She waits. Rei (thinking): "I wonder why I am out here? What purpose does my presence serve out here?" Questions like these wander around in her mind almost randomly, and yet all in a specific order that is comprehensible only to her. Still, she waits and waits... and waits, confident that Gendo had a purpose for her presence out here, never once thinking that he wasn't in control of every situation. --- Back inside the cave. Asuka: "Do you hear that?" How could Shinji not hear it? A loud screaming jet sound can be heard from over the lip of the cavern. On the surface, a UN super jet is screaming at full speed, ripping along as close to the ground as possible. It's trying to counter the violent winds that tear at its flight path, trying to overpower it with the kinetic energy gained from pushing the throttle all the way forward after requesting one of the higher-yield fuels. Right at the split second when the pilot gets it in front of the hole in the snowy ground, the restraints of the container on its underside explode, sending the small black case hurtling downward. Timed by technology, the violent release of the high-impact container took an arcing path toward the cavern in the ground. As good as technology is, though, Mother Nature overrode it once again, so the case is slightly off course. The wind had taken a random turn, which caused the calculations that fired the case to become invalid. It collides with the lip of the hole in the ground, deflecting through about three meters of solid ice before hurtling through the cavern air to hit the wall, shattering some of the stone with a loud boom. Shinji and Asuka hold their arms in front of their faces and turn and run away to keep from being showered in ice and rock. That, however is the last of the dramatic impact scenes. it simply falls to the ground after that. Unscratched, of course. Shinji: "Wow. I doubt we'll find anything in good shape in that anymore." Asuka walks towards the container, as they hear the jet gaining altitude to try and fly over the storm, then return home. Shinji: "It's smaller than I expected it to be. I wonder how they put all the things Misato promised inside." Asuka (opening it): "You'd be surprised what you can pack into a small container. When I moved over here they gave me only half of the boxes I asked for. However, I managed to pack everything after a few tries. You just need a little organization." Shinji (thinking): "That was HALF of the boxes?" The container was easy to open, despite the long and eventful fall it had taken. Asuka rummages through it. Asuka: "So, let's see. There's the thermal clothing, a field stove with heat tabs, some camping pots, something that looks like Misato's, or NERV cafeteria's, cooking... mmm, oh, good, here's the thermos with the coffee. Here, set up the stove and heat some of this up, would you?" Shinji: "Just a minute." He grabs some of the thermal clothing and puts it on over his plug suit, then grabs the thermos and starts struggling to open it. Asuka stops going through the container and puts on her own set of the thick, warm clothes. Asuka: "It's better with these on!" Shinji: "Definitely." She resumes her rummaging. Asuka: "A thermos of tea, two hand-held video games... oh, great. I hate both of those ones!" She put the games down next to the other things on the ground, as Shinji continues to fight with the vacuum bottle of coffee. Shinji (to himself): "This damn thing's as hard to open as a pickle jar!!!" Asuka: "Oh, my teddy bear!" She hugs it and lets out a small sigh of relief. Shinji: "I didn't know you had a teddy bear." Asuka (grinning): "Of course. You never came into my room before." Shinji: "Well..." Asuka: "There are two sleeping bags as well and..." She digs deeper into the container, and her eyes widen. Asuka: "What's a *condom* doing here!? 'EVA Brand Condom: When you need protection as good as an A.T. Field.' What is that crap!?" Shinji: "Huh!?" Asuka (perplexed): "Who the hell would put something like this in the container?" Shinji: "Who would come up with such a corny slogan?" Asuka (ignoring Shinji): "Hmm... you think Misato would have put this in here? As a joke, or something like that?" Shinji (getting nervous): "Well, what are we gonna do? If we get caught in here with that..." Asuka: "Hey, it's not like either of us brought it." Asuka goes back to the container and produces something Shinji recognizes at first sight. Asuka: "Isn't this your walkman?" Shinji (surprised): "Misato put my SDAT in there?" Asuka: "Oh. You always listen to this." Shinji: "Yeah, when I have nothing to do." Asuka: "Yeah, yeah." Pause. Asuka: "Say, Shinji, errr..." She tries to look at him, but she can't help but blush and look away. Apparently, the feeling is mutual. Shinji: "Uhhh, yeah? What is it?" Asuka: "You... you liked what you did to me earlier?" Shinji: "Huh? Yeah, I enjoyed it." Asuka: "Would you mind if we..." Still too embarrassed and awkward to say what she wants to say, Asuka makes a gesture with her hands. Shinji immediately understands what it means and he's shocked. Shinji (gasping): "Ummmm, Asuka... you're not serious, are you?" Several images run through Shinji's mind as his eyes are drawn to Asuka's curvy body, each movement making him blush just a little bit more. Asuka: "Shinji, if you blush any more, your head's gonna explode and I don't want that to happen. Not like that, anyway!" Choking, Shinji starts to gasp. He would have blushed even more, but the temperature in the cave has made that technically impossible. Asuka starts to laugh. Shinji: "Asuka, you have an...'interesting' way with words! Here, let's get the sleeping bags unrolled, okay?" Asuka (chuckling): "Wait a minute, you horny jerk! Let's eat first! I'm hungry!" Shinji: "*I'm* the horny one now!?" Asuka (giggling): "Heh heh..." Shaking his head, Shinji finally gets the coffee heating and starts on the tea, for himself. Asuka finds a spot in a little corner of the cavern to lay out one of the sleeping bags, leaving the other one on the ground next to the container. Asuka (yelling from the corner she had decided on): "Shinji, it's ready!" Shinji: "Okay. So's the food!" Shinji did the best he can with the food that had been included in the container. Not a bad effort, though nothing like at home, where he at least had a kitchen to use. Still, it's food, and the hot drinks include caffeine, which stimulates them both. No, not that way; at least, not yet. Asuka sits in front of Shinji, taking her cup of coffee in her hands and slowly drinking it. He does the same with some hot tea. Asuka: "Wow, it's so good to feel some warmth inside!" Shinji (happily): "Yeah!" She then takes a bite of one of the instant meals. Asuka (with a disgusted look): "Ugh. This is worse than Misato's cooking!" Shinji: "That doesn't really make me crazy about eating." Asuka (grinning and placing her hands on her chest): "I think I've got something better here." Shinji (shocked): "Asuka!" Asuka (giggling): "I was just kidding! Seriously, though, we better get this down us. Something tells me we're going to need the energy." Shinji's eyebrows knit as he wonders what exactly she meant by that. They finish their meals and then sit facing each other. The food in their stomachs definitely made them feel better, but there's still something that makes them both uneasy. The silence between the two of them looms like a wall. Until... Asuka: "I'm sorry, Shinji." Shinji: "Why are you sorry?" Asuka (looking away): "I don't know what came over me earlier. Now you'll get wrong ideas about me. I can't believe I let a pervert like you touch me like you did!" Shinji: "But didn't you enjoy it!?" Another pause. Asuka: "That's what frightens me the most." Shinji: "Huh?" Asuka (sighing): "Yes, Shinji, I enjoyed you touching me like that." Shinji: "And I enjoyed holding you in my arms, Asuka." Asuka: "You did?" He nods. Asuka: "I want to check something here." Shinji: "What?" Asuka (with a serious look): "Shinji. I'd like us to be honest for once." Shinji (gulping): "Honest?" Asuka (looking down): "I think I'm... attracted to you." Shinji (stunned): "A-attracted!?" Asuka (shrugging): "Come on, you know what I mean, don't you!?" Shinji (shaking): "I... I think so." Asuka: "What about you?" Uncomfortable pause, mostly for Shinji. Shinji: "I don't know, Asuka. All of this is so weird, so new to me." Asuka: "Same here. But I'd like to know for sure if I'm only attracted to you in a... sexual way, or..." Shinji (gulping again): "Or?" Asuka: "Or if I really love you... or whatever. I don't know exactly what love is, anyway." Shinji nodded in agreement. Shinji: "I've once read that you can't know what love is exactly... but... you know when you're feeling it. You know it is love..." Asuka: "So, don't get any ideas yet about me loving you. I want us to make love, just to be sure." Shinji: "Asuka! You're not serious, are you!? This is--this is disgusting!" Asuka: "Oh, the most beautiful girl in Tokyo-3 wants to sleep with you and you find it 'disgusting'? I bet Suzuhara or Aida wouldn't be like that!" Shinji: "But Asuka, m-making love... that's... something you should do with someone you love!" Asuka: "That's exactly what I want to check. If I love you." Shinji (looking away): "You talk about this so casually." Asuka: "I know. If I were to... discover that I don't love you... I mean, I wouldn't hate you for taking my virginity. That's something I want to give to my true love. If you're not him, I won't hate you. I told myself to check that with you, because, right now, I trust you the most." Shinji: "You're using me." Asuka: "In a way, yes." Shinji (angrily): "I don't want to be used." Asuka (sighing): "Shinji, if it turns out that I don't love you afterwards, I'll let you at least satisfy your fantasies with me, okay? Even the wildest ones." She winks at him, but this doesn't really convince him. Shinji: "You mean you would let me make love to you and..." Asuka: "Yeah." Shinji: "No way." Asuka: "Why's that?" Shinji: "I don't want to hurt you. I don't care if I'm being used, as long as it's by you, Asuka. But I don't want to just use you." Asuka: "You're sure?" Shinji (a bit embarrassed): "Yeah. So... when do we start?" Asuka (serious): "I... I don't know. I'd like to talk with you about this a bit more. I'm a bit... afraid about this." Shinji: "You are?" Asuka: "Of course I am, baka! I know the first time hurts a lot!" Shinji: "Uhhh, sure." Asuka: "Yeah. And, plus, I don't exactly know what to do. Have you ever seen a porn movie?" Shinji (gulping): "Should I tell you?" Asuka (shrugging): "I never saw one. Back in college the girls used to talk about that stuff a lot. I pretended that I wasn't really interested, because I didn't want to look like a pervert, but I still listened as carefully as I could. It was all new to me. And it still is." Shinji: "Yeah, I saw one, once. Kensuke and Toji made me watch it." Asuka (narrowing her eyes): "That doesn't surprise me, coming from them." Shinji (blushing): "I thought it was... a bit gross, to be honest." Asuka: "What do you mean?" Shinji: "I didn't feel any true love in the sex scenes I saw." Asuka: "I... see." Shinji: "And I think that's what's gonna happen if you decide to... go through with your idea." Asuka: "You don't want to have sex without love?" Shinji: "I... don't believe in it. I don't think it's right." Asuka: "This is a problem. I mean, for me." Shinji: "No, it isn't." Asuka (puzzled): "Why? You don't want to have sex without love, but you also say... do you mean you're..." Another uncomfortable pause. For both of them, this time. Shinji (looking down): "Y-yes. I'm... well, I think I... what I'm trying to say is that I'm... in love with you, Asuka... at least, I think I am." Asuka is speechless. She sits there with her mouth wide open for a few seconds. Asuka (shocked): "You're... in love with me? Why?" She felt stupid asking that question as soon as it left her mouth. Shinji: "I don't really know how long it's been since I started feeling that way. Maybe since the first time I saw you. Anyway, I know you don't feel the same about me." Asuka (smiling): "How do you know that for sure? Maybe it could change. Maybe it already did." An awkward silence follows. Asuka: "Then you accept?" Shinji (nodding): "Yes. I do. I would do anything for you, Asuka." Asuka: "Shinji, I promise I'll try to make it up to you later if it doesn't work out. And Sohryu Asuka Langley is a woman of her word." Shinji (grinning): "Even if I want you to become my slave for a night?" Asuka: "Errr, that depends! I still have my dignity!" Another long pause, during which Shinji stares at Asuka's curvy body with obvious desire. Asuka: "You really want me, right?" Shinji: "Asuka!" Asuka (grinning): "Heh heh." (a little more serious now:) "Well, Shinji, right now... I really want you, too." With that, she gets up and heads towards the sleeping bag. Rolled out, it looks huge compared to the two children. Asuka quickly strips out of her clothes and her plug suit. Shinji, of course, can't look anywhere else or do anything himself, as he is enjoying seeing, in more vivid detail, the body he was holding close to him not too long ago. Those curves, those legs, those round breasts, those hard nipples. Asuka looks up at Shinji after she climbs into the bag as quickly as possible. Asuka: "Well? The best thing to do in cases like this is to undress before sharing body heat. Didn't you know that?" Of course, she's grinning from ear to ear. Shinji smiles back. He gets up and sheds his own thermal clothing and plug suit. After he joins her in the bag, Asuka doesn't waste any time pressing her curves up against him and planting what is becoming one of her favourite attacks, right on his mouth. Shinji returns the kiss right away and starts to run his hands all over her body again, showing a lot more confidence this time, as he had already learned from the last time what Asuka enjoyed the most. Asuka (breaking the kiss, softly): "Shinji?" Shinji: "Hmm?" Asuka (whispering into his ear before kissing him again): "Please be gentle." Shinji (after the kiss): "I will." He cups a hand around one of her round breasts again, rubbing and pressing the nipple with his thumb, while his other hand can't resist moving down to her tight ass and caressing the firm, erotically smooth flesh. Asuka finds that she has a lot more to do this time, as she isn't the only one who has to be pleasured now. As the sleeping bag heats up, she feels her own courage building. Nothing is said between them as Asuka reaches out and and gently pinches Shinji's nipple. Shinji is surprised at how good that feels. His manhood had grown as stiff as the armour of his EVA, and Asuka takes the opportunity to inspect his member carefully. Surprised a little by its size and warmth, Asuka gently fondles it, making him a little nervous. She kisses him even harder and his uncertainties vanish as the heat in his own body starts to rise. Asuka: "You like that, don't you?" How could he not like was she was doing? She was returning the deep, intimate touch he had given her earlier. Sometimes as fast as she could, sometimes very slowly. Shinji (moaning): "Hmmm... yeah, this feels... good!" He continues to slide his hands all over her body, warming it up with his gentle caresses, enjoying the delicate softness of her tender skin. Asuka then suddenly reaches up and grabs his hands, stopping his course, and looks him in the eyes. Asuka (almost whispering): "Shinji, I'll be right back. I wanna try something." Shinji: "Huh? What? Where are you going?" Asuka (smiling softly, with a twinkle in her eye): "Down!" She then disappears into the sleeping bag. Confused, Shinji can only lay there, wondering. Shinji (to himself): "What the hell? Have I done something wrong AGAIN?" He is rather surprised to suddenly feel a warm moist sensation wrap around where her hands were a little earlier. Shinji: "MMMMMMMMMM! Ah, god! That feels so wonderful, Asuka!" Asuka, meanwhile, has started what she was told was a blowjob. She wasn't really fond of the idea at first, since she wasn't sure when the last time he had washed was, but that didn't bother her right now. She had heard that boys loved it, and she wanted to pay Shinji back for earlier. As she got into it, she found that his response to her tongue is worth the effort, and she gets lost in her job. She remembers something else the girls at college had said about it, and curls her lips back so he wouldn't feel her teeth. Asuka, in the warm darkness of the huge sleeping bag, is kneeling between Shinji's bent knees as she gently cups his testes in one hand and strokes his shaft with the other, while sucking lightly on the head. She swirls her tongue around his sensitive purple flesh as he moans in pleasure, lifting his hips, wanting more and getting lost in the sensations. She is also very turned on by the length of his manhood. To add to her already extreme level of excitement, she thinks about how all this length would feel inside her. She doesn't notice it right now, but the other side of her body is dripping with anticipation. Her thoughts are interrupted by the feel of Shinji tensing up in her hands and mouth. Shinji: "Ooooooh, gooood!" Asuka's eyes open wide as she feels a salty yet sweet liquid suddenly invading her mouth. She quickly realizes what it is and backs off his shaft, only to feel more of Shinji's hot semen sprinkle onto her pretty face. Asuka (surprised): "W-wow!" Shinji: "Oh, no... Asuka... I'm sorry!" Asuka looks up at him in shock, some semen dripping off her chin and landing on Shinji's stomach. Shinji: "Asuka, I'm sorry! I swear I..." Asuka: "It's..." She runs a hand over her face a few times, licking it off after every pass, and then gulps it down, making an audible swallowing sound. Asuka (to herself): "The girls in college used to say it had an awful taste. But it's great! Could this mean I...?" Shinji: "Asuka, are you okay? I'm sorry." Asuka (giggling): "I guess I made a big mess here, didn't I?" Shinji: "Errr... I guess so." Asuka: "It's like... I tasted your soul, Shinji. It was... wonderful." Shinji: "Re-really? You're not angry at me?" Asuka: "Why should I be?" With that, she resumes her work on Shinji and sensually cleans off his body with her tongue, like a cat. She wants to make Shinji hard again as soon as possible. Shinji: "Uhhh... Asuka..." Shinji is greatly arounsed by the sight and feel of Asuka licking his own essence off him. His member grows hard again in no time. Asuka: "Seems you can't resist me, can you?" Shinji (smiling): "Who could?" Asuka rips open the plastic cover of the condom she had snuck into the bag with her. Working by feel, which Shinji really didn't mind one bit, she gently rolls the ribbed condom over him, and after a few quick licks... Asuka (grinning): "Do you want to be on top? Or should I?" She had wanted ask Kaji that a hundred times. But now, she finds that it feels more right asking Shinji. Shinji: "Hmmm, I don't know. I'm having a hell of a time here on the bottom!" Giggling, Asuka slides up so that her face is flush with his. Restricted to the confines of the sleeping bag, her smooth curvy body is hanging just over Shinji's. His eyes wander down her torso for a brief but full view of her exposed breasts, her fully erect nipples, and her bright red pubic hair. She looks him in the eyes the entire time that she uses her left hand to gently hold and guide him into herself. Asuka trembles with pleasure as it makes contact with her tender slit, the tip of his sex parting her lips and slowly introducing itself into her hot vagina. But, very soon, Shinji meets a barrier of flesh inside her. Shinji: "Asuka..." Asuka gently put a hand down to caress his cheek. Asuka: "Don't worry about that. I... I'm sure it won't hurt that much. Not if it's you." Shinji: "Then you..." Asuka gently puts a finger on his lips, silencing him. Asuka: "Sshhh. If you see that I'm enjoying it, then... then it means that I feel something." Shinji slowly nods. When Asuka sees that he's ready as well, she backs off a little, takes a deep breath, and then completely impales herself on him in a violent thrust. She frowns and grits her teeth in pain. Asuka (moaning in pain): "Ahhhh..." Shinji slowly reaches up with one hand and wipes the single tear sliding down her left cheek. Shinji: "I love you, Asuka. I hate to see you in pain..." Asuka responds by slowly, gradually rocking on top of him, thrusting his member out and then in again, soon masking the pain and making her feel the pleasure Shinji is providing her. He's nervous as hell. This is the first time for both of them, and he can only suppose that they're doing it the right way. He looks at her face and sees that she doesn't have the painful expression she had just earlier. Shinji (to himself): "Ah, what the hell. I'm enjoying it and she's enjoying it, too, so... then... this means she..." Asuka rests her body on top of his for a moment to enjoy the over- whelming sensation of having him inside her, breathing erratically next to his ear. She loves the feeling of being penetrated, of willingly being violated by the boy she loves. It's a surrender that she had been looking for, a release that allowed her to let go of the challenge of being the best. Because here, there was no best, and no sense of competition. Just simple mutual satisfaction between two people. Asuka (whispering and looking into Shinji's eyes): "Are you ready?" Shinji just nods as Asuka lifts her body off of him just a little, supporting herself with her hands on the sleeping bag lining on either side of his head. Shinji places one of his hands on her waist to guide her as she starts to slide back and forth, travelling the entire length of his manhood, letting it penetrate her as deeply as it can go, breathing heavily, the new feelings of pleasure a little too much for her mind to handle. Shinji's other hand goes back to tweaking her nipple. She loves planting her hands on the ground just over his head as she feels his own on her body. Letting him have total access to her and imagining that she couldn't stop him was going to be one her favourite scenarios in the future, she thought. Shinji (dreamily, to himself): "She looks so cute when she moans... so innocent..." She pumps him on and on, faster and faster, with an energy and an enthusiasm Shinji never saw in her before. They both let out loud moans of pleasure as the sensations assault both their minds at the same time, exciting each other more in the process. Shinji is in heaven. The feeling of something hot, wet and tight surrounding and rubbing his manhood is better then he ever imagined it could be. He starts to squirm and his hips lift with her body as if by reflex, as he feels his own passion flow through his body to meet her eagerness. Shinji: "Asuka, yo... you... you're... so tight!" Asuka: "Hmmmm, it's not me! You're so damn bi... AH, god... ummmm, big!" Asuka is starting to get as excited as Shinji is, and she can feel another orgasm start to rise out of her body. She lays her head down next to his and breathes heavily into his ear again. He responds by groaning and getting suddenly even harder, and putting both of his hands on Asuka's shapely ass and squeezing it hard. His breathing comes in gasps as he fights to keep from exploding in his second orgasm. However, since it was only his first time making love, Shinji loses it a moment later as Asuka thrusts down, lost in her own pleasure. His back stiffens up, his hips thrust upwards one last time and lock, and his voice catches in his throat as he feels himself pulsing inside her. She then began to reach her climax as well, as her vision suddenly blurs for a few seconds, while her inner walls clutch around Shinji harder than ever, as if they're trying to suck all of the seed out of his member. Her sweet love juices flow down the inside of her womanhood, drenching the condom. The two of them hold each other tightly as the flows of orgasmic energy course through their bodies like lifeblood. After a few minutes laying panting in each other's arms, Asuka picks herself up a bit and gives Shinji another deep kiss. It isn't as strong as the last few were, but it's no less intense for either of them. She rolls off of him to lay next to him in the sleeping bag and looks over at him with the dreamiest smile he has ever seen. Shinji returns a smile through his own heavy but clearing haze, and then reaches down to take the condom off. Asuka looks over as he reaches out of the sleeping bag so he can drop it on the cave floor. She sees it drip a little bit on the cold rock before he lets it go. Asuka: "Oh, no." Shinji: "What is it?" Asuka: "I think... the condom broke." Shinji: "What? Oh, no!" Asuka: "Well, it seems that even an A.T. Field can't resist love... heh heh." Shinji (worried): "You know what this could mean, right?" Asuka just shifts onto her side and kisses Shinji's neck. Asuka: "I don't care. It feels so hot down there. So good." Shinji: "But what if I get you pregnant? Misato will kill us." Asuka: "I don't care. We'll run away from NERV and raise our child together. Far from Misato. Far from your father." Shinji: "No. I won't run away any more, Asuka." Asuka (smiling): "So baka Shinji's not a wimp anymore? Then I can say something to him." She nibbles his ear a bit, before whispering the three words he'd said earlier to her during their lovemaking, in a very sweet voice. Asuka (softly): "I love you." Shinji: "Asuka, you..." Asuka: "Yeah, I think I really do." He holds her even closer to him. They may be too young to know exactly what love is, but just saying 'I love you' and hearing it told to them meant a lot to both of them. This fills their hearts with warmth, as they knew that they will now never part. Asuka continues to rest her head next to his. She is naked, she's lying on top of a boy she usually scorned all the time, and she was touched by his gentle hands in places no one had touched before. He was the first to place his hands there and it felt wonderful to her. For once, she had completely given herself. She gave him one of her most precious treasures, and yet, she didn't care at all about anything that could have gone wrong. As far as she was concerned, it was the most righteous thing she had ever done. She whispers softly in his ear, but he hears it as loudly and clearly as a bell. Asuka: "I have to ask you something, Shinji. A favour, in fact." Shinji (in a shaky voice): "Anything you ask, Asuka. I just can't say no to the one who returned my love for the first time in my life." Asuka: "Please... don't leave me." Just the idea of that alone saddens Shinji deeply, and tears start to pool in his eyes. Shinji: "Why would I?" Asuka: "I mean, with what we just did, we can't go back to how we were anymore. I think that there'll be great changes in our lives from now on." She looks in his eyes again, and sees the tears. Worry immediately crosses her face. Asuka: "Shinji. Why are you crying?" Shinji (holding her even tighter): "You're the (sniff) very first one to... to love me back, since mother died..." (voice cracking badly:) "Thank you, Asuka, thank you. I love you so much..." Asuka: "Really? As weird as it may seem, I think I love you, too, Shinji. I don't care what Hikari, Misato, or those idiot friends of yours will think. I don't care at all. Because... I feel so peaceful with you." Shinji (sniffling a bit): "Thank you. I never thought somebody would say that to me. I felt like everything I'd been doing until now didn't really mean anything. But now... you make me feel like I mean something now." Asuka: "You do. I just realized that you're completing me. You're my other half. You complete me in a way no one ever did. You've got everything else that I should have, but don't." Shinji: "It's the same for me. I wish I could be like you. So strong, so energetic, so full of life..." Asuka: "Hey, it's not like you weren't doing anything!" She then thinks a little more, and changes the subject. Asuka: "We'll have to ask Misato before we can actually live closer to each other, I guess." Shinji: "Yeah. I'll ask her if you can move into my room." Asuka: "Yesterday, I couldn't possibly have imagined that we would've done this. This seems so unreal. But if it's an illusion, or a dream, I don't want it to end. Ever." Shinji: "Me neither." Asuka: "I feel so good. Feeling you inside me and around me at the same time... I felt whole, complete. And safe, as well. I feel like nothing bad can happen to me now." Shinji: "And I felt your warmth around me. And I never want to let go." Asuka: "I never said I was going to leave your arms, Shinji. I feel so comfortable in them, so at peace, like I never have been before. Like I never have been in my life, I think. I wish we could stay like this forever." Shinji: "You know, when you want to, you can be so lovely, and nice..." Asuka (kissing his neck again): "I know. Are you aware that boys in school would kill to be in your place right now?" Shinji (chuckling): "Yeah, I know. I'm very honoured to be the chosen one." Asuka: "I don't really know what it is that attracts me to you. But I can't resist. Not any more. I don't want to ask why I love you, but rather why I didn't admit it sooner." Shinji: "Errr... maybe because I have a big one?" Asuka (giggling): "Idiot! I'm not some kind of slut!" Shinji: "Sorry." Asuka: "If you apologize again, you'll be really sorry this time." Shinji: "What will you do to me?" Asuka (chuckling): "You'll have to pleasure me until I tell you to stop!" Shinji (smiling): "What a sweet punishment. I might not stop, though." Asuka: "Fair enough. Guess I've been warned. Let's go to sleep now. I never imagined sex could be so tiring." Shinji: "Neither could I." He reaches out and grabs his SDAT walkman, which he had set down near the sleeping bag earlier. Asuka: "You really need that?" Shinji (shrugging): "I like to sleep with some music on." Shinji starts putting the earbuds into his ears. Asuka: "May I?" She looks at him with her lovely blue eyes. Shinji understands and hands Asuka the earbud he was about to insert. She puts it in her right ear and then gently put her head back on his chest, as he presses the PLAY button. They are soon listening to the tape's 26th track, both sharing the same music, the same warmth. Shinji (nodding and kissing her forehead): "Sweet dreams, Asuka." Asuka (softly): "Just hold me. Just stay here, holding me, and I'll always have sweet dreams, in... your arms..." Shinji tightens his hold on Asuka a little and gently caresses her soft red hair. With her head on his chest, she listens to the music of Shinji's tape with one ear and the sound of his soft heartbeat with the other. Both of them look so innocent and peaceful. For Shinji, Asuka's touch is soft and provides him with a warmth he never knew before. As for Asuka, she is nestled in Shinji's arms, and feels like she's in the safest place in the world. For once, she feels secure. For once, she doesn't feel the need to push anyone away, or to stand alone any more. The two fall asleep, bathed in their own fluids, holding each other as tightly as they could. For them, the cold wasn't there any more. There was only warmth. There was only love. The outside world had effectively disappeared. --- Meanwhile, Rei is still in her Eva, waiting for instructions. She has answered all of her questions by now, given the amount of time she had to answer them. She has discovered the meaning of boredom. As well, she has also discovered fear, loneliness (though she suspects that she was supposed to discover that one later; go figure), anger and a craving for sardines. In addition, Rei has also decided that she is going to hit the first person who opens her hatch. The next few moments are spent deciding exactly *how* she is going to hit the person, depending on what position they are in. --- One day later, in a staff lounge inside Central Dogma. Misato is sitting at a table, a half-empty cup of coffee in front of her. However, she isn't alone. Kaji is standing against the wall to her right, arms crossed in front of his stomach. Misato: "This is all my fault." Kaji: "I don't think so." Misato (sighing): "I hope they're okay. Maya couldn't open any more communication channels. I'm so worried." Kaji: "I'm sure they're okay. Shinji and Asuka are good kids. And they did receive some survival training." Misato: "Yes, but none of it was designed for this kind of situation!" Kaji: "You know... it's fun to look at how you act like their mother." That statement hits Misato like a hammer. She opens her eyes wide. Misato: "Me? A mother?" Kaji (carefully): "Do you care about the pilots?" She looks up at Kaji with a determined look on her face. Misato (slowly): "No, I care about the children." Kaji: "It's almost as if you raised them yourself." Misato: "Yeah, we're like a family. I'm the mother and they're the two children I never had." Kaji leans towards Misato, his face close to hers. Kaji: "Do you think they could use a father?" Misato: "Hmmmm, perhaps. But aren't you occupied enough as is?" Kaji: "Errrr, hmm, right." Kaji goes over to the coffee machine to refill his disposable cup, instead of trying to kiss Misato, again. Misato: "It's funny." Kaji: "What?" Misato: "I have a feeling that we forgot something." Kaji: "You too? Don't worry, there are lots of technicians here to watch over everything and report if anything strange happens. I'm sure that, if something important was forgotten, we would find out about it soon enough." Misato (sighing): "You're right. Probably just my motherly concern again." Misato's sigh ends in a thoughtful smile. Her, a mother? A little more thinking and she decides that she kind of likes the idea. --- Just outside the officer's lounge. Maya and Ritsuko chat while walking toward the Command Center. Maya: "Could the cold have any effect on the Eva's organic components?" Ritsuko: "The Eva's organic components are similar to those of a human. Thus, they may very well become frostbitten out in that cold. But there shouldn't be too much of a chance of that happening if we can retrieve them within the planned schedule." Maya: "I hope we'll be able to rescue Shinji and Asuka soon." Ritsuko: "Once the storm calms down, it'll be okay, so don't worry. Though we should consider preparing for any kind of damage to the Eva's extremities due to the cold, in addition to the damage they took in the fall." Maya: "Noted, Sempai. Maybe we should redesign the Eva's batteries so they're insulated from the cold as well." Ritsuko: "Yes, the effects were unexpected. I *told* NERV that we should have commissioned the batteries that had been designed in Canada, but they refused, on the grounds that they cost eight times more than they were willing to pay." Maya: "By the way, have you seen Commander Ikari and Sub-commander Fuyutsuki today?" Ritsuko: "No, they have a meeting." Maya: "Oh, I see. By the way, when are we going to recall Re--" Maya is interrupted by Makoto running up to them. Ritsuko: "What's going on, Hyuuga-kun?" Makoto: "The storm is clearing sooner than we expected! We can now dispatch troops to rescue Shinji and Asuka!" The two women smile with obvious relief, then determination. Ritsuko: "Let's hurry!" --- Outside, the snow seems to have stopped, and NERV snowplows are clearing the roads so the APCs can finally advance towards the valley. VTOLs had already flown overhead to scout out the best route to the pilots. If there is nowhere to land, then they can at least report that and save the rescue teams some time. As they approach the valley, one truck stops in front of a giant robot. The driver opens a comm channel to the Command Center. Truck driver: "We've found Evangelion Unit 00 laying on the ground." Misato bursts into the command center, followed closely by Kaji. Misato: "What's going on here?" Ritsuko (horrified): "They've found Unit 00 laying on the ground outside." Misato (eyes wide): "Unit 00?" A long pause follows. Everyone (in unison): "REI!" Misato: "I completely forgot about her!" Truck driver: "Pilot of Unit 00 has been retrieved. She ummm, err... strange, she punched the rescue worker right in the face! Hell of a right hook for such a skinny kid! We're giving her some food and drink now. She'll be fine. However, one of the rescue team will need a day of sick leave, I think." Misato: "Bring her back to HQ as soon as you have the other pilots. I want them all here ASAP." Truck driver: "Acknowledged." A VTOL pilot opens a comm channel. VTOL pilot: "We're inside the valley now. We can see Evangelion Units 01 and 02 inside the cavern. We can't get into the cavern itself, there's nowhere to land. Hmmm, on the zoom, it looks like the children are huddled together in a corner of the cave." Misato: "I hope they're okay..." Some rescue troops are now descending into the cavern with ropes. Rescue team leader: "We've spotted the two Evangelion pilots. They're alive! I can see them breathing, and moving." Inside the Command Center, a visual display from one of the nearby VTOLs is displaying what the rescue team is doing, and giving a clear view of the interior of the cavern. Misato (a bit scared): "Why are they in the same sleeping bag???" Kaji (grinning): "What did you give them? I'm sure they made good use of it. That does look like a grim place to spend some time in. I definitely wouldn't want to be alone..." Misato gives him a steely death glare. She isn't in any mood for his jokes *at all*. Not now, anyways. Misato: "I have a bad feeling about this." Rescue team leader: "The children are asleep. Due to the cold, probably. They appear to have been sweating earlier, though." Misato: "Sweating!?" Ritsuko (serious): "What's going on, Misato?" Rescue team leader: "We've found something next to the sleeping bag. It appears to be..." (suddenly embarrassed tone:) "...a condom. Used. With a tear in it." Misato (slapping her forehead): "Oh, shit! That must be where it went!" Realizing what she has just said, Misato becomes very quiet and turns a vivid shade of red, under the curious looks of the entire Command Center staff. --- Later, in Misato's car. It's night time in Tokyo-3. The storm had strangely and quickly disappeared, leaving only melting snow on Tokyo- 3's streets. Still, Misato is driving carefully, for once, mainly because of the numerous water puddles on the road. Misato: "What do you think you were doing in there?" She is obviously very upset. Asuka and Shinji are in the back seat, close to each other, as if they are trying to protect each other from the fierce element in the driver's seat. Misato: "I'll save you the medical report Ritsuko gave me about you, Asuka! You can't lie to me now. I know you two had sex in there!" Asuka (trying to be defiant): "So? What's wrong with that!?" Misato: "'What's wrong with that?' Think about it, Asuka! You're only 14, and you... you did that!" Asuka: "Don't play the prude with me, Misato! In fact I'm glad my first time was with Shinji." Shinji didn't dare open his mouth until this moment. Shinji: "I'm glad you were my first too, Asuk--" Misato (interrupting them): "You don't understand, do you!? This will certainly affect both of you as Eva pilots! I'll have to make one of you move to another apartment now! I can't imagine you two under the same roof any more." Asuka: "W-what!?" Lumps form in the two teenagers' throats, both to their surprise. The idea of being separated from each other is frightening them a lot. Shinji: "Mi...Misato-san, you can't!" He puts a hand on Asuka's and squeezes it gently. Asuka returns the squeeze, as if to lend him the power to emphasize what he just said. Misato: "I'll have to, unless you can control your hormones. But that's obviously too much to ask from 14-year-olds. That's why I want one of you two to move!" Shinji suddenly shouts, almost stunning Misato as she drives. Shinji: "THE HELL I WILL! I WON'T LEAVE ASUKA!" Asuka (also surprised by Shinji's outburst): "Me, too! If Shinji moves, I'm moving with him!" Shinji (angrily): "Misato-san! There's no way we're gonna be separated from each other, unless an Angel kills one of us!" Misato (sighing): "Shinji-kun..." Asuka: "Misato, you know me better than Shinji does, right? Well, I mean, you knew me since a long time ago. You know how much I cherish my Evangelion Unit 02. But I grew up. Yeah, I'm not the little girl you knew anymore. Things are different now." She squeezes Shinji's hand harder and continues. Asuka: "I truly opened myself up to someone for the first time. Shinji. I learned how to love, too. Again, my first time was with Shinji. He'll be the only one, ever. I swear it in front of you, right here and now!" Shinji smiles at this. As for Misato, she thinks about this a little, and sighs again. Misato: "It's just that you're both still so young. We've been together, not for a long time, but there's been a few tough times, like Angel attacks, family problems, and waking up in the morning. I'm starting to feel like a family, umm, like a mother, I guess. So, I guess this means I feel protective of you two, like a mother. At first I thought of taking care of you two as another duty as a Major, and as a way to have some company in my home, but... it's come to mean so much more to me. Do you know what I mean?" Shinji slowly nods. Misato: "However, now you've both grown up a lot. Eva did that to you. And I guess I should let go a bit and let you live your lives." (to herself:) "Oh, god. I need a beer when I get home." Shinji: "I'd just like... to tell you that... well, I think--I *know* I'm in love with Asuka." Asuka looks into Shinji's eyes. Asuka (softly): "I am, too, in love with the sweetest baka I have ever met." Shinji (smiling): "Asuka..." The two of them draw closer to each other and meet in a tender and passionate embrace, kissing each other deeply. Misato sees them in her rear-view mirror. Misato (to herself): "Forget one. I need a *lot* of them. NOW." --- Misato's apartment, later that night. The dark corridor of the Katsuragi residence is full of snoring. Pen-pen is asleep in his fridge, and the Major had relieved her stress by getting drunk and collapsing on the couch. The air is still cold, as the weather conditions still hadn't reverted to their normal patterns. Instead, they seem to be remaining wet. Ever since the last snowstorm died away, it seems to be almost constantly raining. Shinji had placed a blanket over Misato soon after she had fallen asleep, so that she would be warm during the night. Shinji (looking down at her, to himself): "To think that she's a Major at NERV..." >From the kitchen comes a cool light glowing in the eerie darkness of the apartment. A brief clatter is followed by a soft German curse and a door shutting, casting the kitchen back into the darkness it was in before the fridge was opened. Back in the hallway, Asuka tiptoes past Shinji's door, trying to get to her room with her stolen can of beer, when suddenly Misato turns and mumbles in her sleep. Using all of her EVA training, Asuka just manages to keep from screaming and quickly opens the closest door. She then slips inside quickly, shutting it behind her, hoping that Misato had not seen her. Opening the door a little, she peeks back outside, only to find that Misato has settled back into sleep. Asuka (thinking): "Phew. That was close..." Looking into the room she had rushed into, she finds Shinji asleep in his bed, snuggled up under the covers. Shivering a little in her nightgown, Asuka suddenly gets another 'new' idea. Shinji is having a (relatively) pleasant dream. He's back in the cave with both Rei and Asuka. Each girl is very demanding and he is, of course, very busy. There are extra blankets to get, Asuka needs another cup of coffee, Rei wants a fruit salad, TV channels and video games need to be changed every so often, a massage table seems to always have one of the girls on it, an outdoor heater is either too hot or not hot enough, they need to get spare condoms. Time to wake up. Somewhere in the back of his mind, Shinji senses something moving in his bed. Then he sees Rei lean towards him and cover his mouth, cutting off his breathing. The fact that his nose is clear doesn't really matter, since it *is* a dream. Asuka, in the meantime, had slipped under Shinji's covers next to him. She also had the foresight to cover his mouth in case he woke up and made a lot of noise. Shinji (muttering): "MMMmmmMMmm, Rei, let me brea... damn..." Asuka is, of course, really surprised by this. Asuka (to herself): "Wondergirl? What the HELL IS SHE DOING IN MY SHIN-CHAN'S DREAMS?!!" *THWACK!!!* Shinji (waking up with a hand over his mouth): "Hmm, what th..." He panics a little. Here he is, unable to breathe in his dream, mouth covered as he woke, sudden pain on his head and a warm body under the covers with him. Freaky. He grabs the hand and arm that is holding him down, and the covers wrap around both bodies as they turn and twist in the bed. Asuka, a little surprised by this, gives out a little 'eep'. Shinji, hearing her, quickly stops. Too quickly. His struggling had moved them over to the side of the bed, and when he stopped, Asuka was hanging over the edge. She falls, and drags him along with her to the floor. Thanks to the bed covers, their impact on the rug was soft, undamaging and (most importantly) quiet. Shinji: "A... Asuka? What are you doing here?" Asuka (giggling): "Shin-chan, that's a little rough for our second time, don't you think?" Shinji blushes a little at this. His mind is running images from his dream and reality around in circles, since he isn't quite awake yet. Shinji: "Where's Rei gone? I though she wanted a massage..." *THWACK* Asuka wakes Shinji up. Definitely. He rubs the back of his head and takes a look at the clock. Then he notices the can that Asuka had dropped on the floor in the tumble. Shinji: "Uh, Asuka, what are you doing here in my room at midnight with a can of Misato's beer?" Asuka: "We're doing her a favour by helping her drink some of it." Shinji (gulping): "WE'RE doing her a favour?" Asuka: "Don't tell me you don't drink beer?" Shinji (hesitating): "Well, errr, no." Asuka wiggles out of the blankets that are binding her to Shinji, and grabs the can. Flipping it open with ease, she takes a sip and then offers it to him. Shinji: "Umm, I don't know, Asuka, I don't want to get drunk..." Asuka: "Don't lose the spine you got in that cave NOW, Shinji. Come on, it won't kill you. Just this little bit." Shinji looks unconvinced, but takes the can, anyhow, and has a small sip. After that, he looks at the can with a new expression on his face and takes another sip. This time, he doesn't stop until Asuka pulls the can out of his grasp, clearly annoyed. Asuka: "Don't drink it all! God, you can be so selfish sometimes." She then stands up and finishes off the can quickly. Watching Asuka standing in the middle of his room in nothing but her nightgown is bringing up various memories in Shinji's strangely muddled mind. Shinji (to himself): "Geez, I'm drunk already." Grinning, Shinji can't take his eyes off of Asuka's lovely curves as she puts the empty beer can in the wastebasket. Asuka: "What the hell are you looking at, pervert? Get those blankets back on the bed! I'm freezing!" Shinji untangles himself and stands up in his t-shirt and boxers, which show off his excitement at seeing Asuka's barely-clad body. Giggling a little, Asuka crawls under the covers as soon as Shinji has made his bed again. Shinji: "Asuka? What are you doing in my bed now?" Asuka (cutely whining): "I'm cold!" Shinji (a little confused): "Where am I supposed to sleep?" Asuka: "Anta baka [Are you stupid]? In your bed, of course!" (to herself:) "Gosh, low alcohol tolerance, it seems..." Before he can say anything else, she grabs his arm and pulls him into his bed, planting a kiss on his lips to shut him up. He, of course, complies. His raging hard-on is starting to win the war to decide who is going to think for him for the rest of the night. Shinji (between kisses): "Asuka... (kiss) we... (kiss) don't... (kiss) have... (kiss) a... (kiss) condom... (kiss) this... (tongue war) time... (kiss)" Asuka (quickly): "There are more ways to make love than like that, you know!" Then, without further explanation, she pokes her tongue into his warm mouth to fight with his, as she slides a hand into his boxers. She grabs his manhood, and starts to play with it by taking a firm grip on it, then sliding her hand up and down it. Shinji, meanwhile, is enjoying Asuka's fondling, and reaches out for her own body. Cupping her firm breasts through her nightgown, he pinches her nipples, as he now loves to do, making them erect and making Asuka moan in pleasure. Her breast fits perfectly in his hand, and he begins to squeeze it firmly, causing little seductive moans to escape Asuka's lips. His other hand goes lower and stops around her waist, as he slowly lifts her nightgown, exposing the lower part of her body to the air... He also loves to squeeze her smooth ass, kneading the soft flesh with his bare hands, caressing it, and feeling their heat. Asuka smiles as she feels Shinji's erection get even stiffer from her handiwork. Asuka (softly): "You're really hot, Shinji. I think you need cooling down again!" Shinji: "I am? Uh, err, oh, yeah! THAT!" He snickers at his own slowness. Asuka then disappears under the covers--one of her own new favourite activities. However, this time, she squirms around for a while and, suddenly, Shinji feels her grab his feet and yank him down under the covers as well. With a quick yelp, Shinji found himself in a dark environment, apparently between Asuka's slender legs. Asuka (seductively): "Here, Shinji, take care of this." She then pushes her womanhood against Shinji's mouth, as she goes down on him at the other end. The feeling of Shinji's face rubbing against her petals made her shiver in anticipation. Shinji (to himself): "Hmm, not bad. A little sudden, I wish she would stop with all the surprises. At least we won't need those irritating condoms!" He is obviously now too drunk to realize what he's thinking. Shinji begins to lick and slurp up Asuka's honey pot quite enthusiastically. She squirms and wiggles on top of him, enjoying the new feeling of a very warm and velvety tongue running over her sensitive flesh. His hands run along the sides and the insides of her legs, and she shivers each time his tongue makes contact. Asuka's attention to Shinji's own assets is not going unchecked. She pumps him in her fist a little, while giving the head of his stick quick licks. She then places her head directly over it, opens her mouth wide, and quickly let her head fall on it, trying to slide his long shaft all the way down her throat. Once her prey is inside her mouth, she lets it rest there for a while, using only her tongue and her saliva to slowly devour it. For Shinji, Asuka's tender slit alone isn't quite enough fun for his tongue. Grabbing her soft ass in his hands, he uses both his thumbs to open her lower lips wide, exposing her inner self to his warm breath. He then dips his tongue back in to lick it a little before sliding it in and out, like he knows he will in a different way soon. Asuka gradually bobs up and down on him, using her hand to stroke and fondle his shaft while the other massages his balls energetically, sometimes rolling them around, sometimes sensually caressing them. He reacts as much as can be expected: He gets harder and harder and starts to squirm and moan a little himself. Asuka can't believe how long his member had became. She has trouble putting it all inside her mouth, but just having it touch the back of her throat excites her to no end. Shinji is now having his own sweet difficulties with her. Shinji (to himself): "She must be getting close to coming." She's wiggling back and forth too much for him to keep his tongue where he wants it to be, so he reaches up to grab his meal and hold it down. Wrapping his arms over Asuka's waist, a hand on each cheek of her lovely ass, Shinji clamps her body to his face and sucks up as much of her juices as he can, and his chin accidentally brushes against her clitoris. This drives her almost totally wild, sending surges of intense pleasure to her brain. She can't keep her attention on his shaft any longer, and she comes up for air. Asuka (panting): "Shin... -ch... chan, I... l-love it! Mmmmm, uh, hmm, ah..." To keep herself from screaming, she plugs Shinji's manhood into her mouth again. She could taste his pre-come on its head now. The taste drives her mind over the limit, and she clamps down on Shinji as hard as she could as her orgasm rips from her pelvis up through her body, causing her to convulse in spasms. Her love juices now flow freely from her, flooding Shinji's mouth with their sweet taste. He backs off a bit in reflex, then goes back to drink most of her essence with a loud slurping sound. Shinji (between moans): "Asu... ka... this... tastes great..." Wanting to get more, he licks all over her mound, cleaning it in the process. As he does this, he notices the place where his chin brushed earlier, and works his tongue around it a little. When he realizes that his licking is making Asuka moan and suck him harder, he decides to return the favour as well. Shinji takes her little clitoris between his lips and happily sucks on it, running his tongue over it, sometimes in long swipes, sometimes more energetically. Realizing that his fingers are free for use, he slowly slides one inside Asuka's tight slit, and starts to wiggle it a little. He then moves his other hand over and slides one of its fingers in. When his two fingers were inside, he started to work them in and out of her, pushing one in while pulling the other out. As Asuka is still eagerly sucking his member, he gradually increases the speed of his work, still tonguing her button the whole time. Shinji feels Asuka tremble even more as he picks up his efforts. He himself is close to an orgasm. Asuka's gentle tongue licks all over and all around his shaft, her breath making the head of his member even hotter. This drives him to work even harder, almost violently crushing his mouth right into her clitoris while he plunges three of his fingers into her, drenching them with her love fluids. Asuka (barely a strained whisper): "Ah, god, Don't... s... stop... hmmmm, err, ah, ah!" Listening to the whimpering around his shaft makes Shinji feel that he is taming the great Sohryu Asuka Langley, the girl no one else could control. This feeling of total power over her drives him over the limit as he explodes right into her last moan of pleasure. Asuka's mouth is soon filled with Shinji's essence as well, as hot and sticky semen coats the back of her throat in four long shots. She is amazed at how much sperm he is shooting, but doesn't mind. She loves the unique taste. It's Shinji's, therefore, to her, it's good. Once it is finished, she licks the head of his manhood, wanting to get more, and then swallows the traces of it in her mouth, savouring his seed one more time. Then, as she sees Shinji's member lose its hardness, she immediately resumes her enthusiastic sucking method, wanting to get it hard again, and knowing that he would surely do the same thing for her. His own moans and groans are silenced by Asuka's clamping technique. His convulsions push his face deeper into Asuka's womanhood, which, in turn, causes her to moan louder, even if her mouth is blocked by his now-hard-again member. Shinji suddenly pushes Asuka off of him, to her great surprise. Before she realizes it, he has turned her body around so that her head is now resting on his pillow. She feels scared and a bit defensive about the sudden change of events, but she is too weakened by the powerful orgasm she'd just had to do much of anything. Asuka: "What the... aaaah..." She resumes her nice moaning melody as Shinji enters her womanhood without any other warning, making a wet slippery noise with each of his thrusts. Asuka (between moans): "Uuuh... you... wanted to be... on top... this time... mh, aah..." Shinji doesn't listen to her words as he begins to pump himself faster and faster, getting almost all the length of his member inside Asuka with each stroke. Asuka is in ecstasy. Not being in control this time drives her beyond wildness, and she can't explain why. Seeing two free orbs of flesh bouncing up and down in front of him, a slightly drunk Shinji decides that he has to do something with his hands. He gently puts one on each of her breasts and began to knead them in synch with his thrusts inside her. This is something Asuka highly enjoys, making her moan even louder. Not fully aware of what he's doing, he starts to change his rhythm. He pulls out, pauses, violently pushes in, and then repeats the action over and over. In addition of that, he squeezes Asuka's breasts harder each time he thrusts in, making her whimper. For once, she is not the one being aggressive, and it makes her feel inexplicably good. She almost passes out as her vaginal walls suddenly tighten around Shinji's member, milking it with her love juices. Her loud orgasmic moaning turns him on as well, and he suddenly stops pumping in and out of her. His face twists with the tension as he shoots his warm load deep inside her, letting out a last moan of pleasure, before finally collapsing on top of her. Shinji is now like an Eva after the end of its activation time, completely silent, completely still on top of Asuka. She is under him and despite his weight, feels very good. She feels secure and more importantly, whole. She soon recovers from her orgasm, inwardly savouring Shinji's essence, which is warming her body from inside. She looks at the ceiling before closing her eyes, and wraps her arms around Shinji. Once again, they fall asleep, both surrounded by each other's warmth, after another tiring but heavenly experience. --- Gendo's Office. Gendo peers at his staff, who are gathered in front of his desk, through his orange-tinted glasses. Ritsuko, Kaji and Misato are right before him. Fuyutsuki is standing in his usual place behind his desk. The reports they are about to deliver had come too easily for his liking. Kaji: "Four more. They should be distributed around the outskirts of Tokyo-3 more or less evenly." Ritsuko: "Well, we've already located all of them, then. Taking into consideration their distribution, I thought that there would only be four." Misato: "Could something like this really be the cause of the unusual weather we've been having?" Ritsuko: "It wouldn't surprise me. They're based on Angel technology. That is, they are mostly organic and operate on what I would guess are small S2-type organs. The MAGI have completed the analysis of all the data we have so far managed to collect. They report that there's a 98.999897% chance that they're the cause." Fuyutsuki: "Small S2-'type' organs?" Ritsuko: "Yes. They're not the S2 organs that we're familiar with, though they appear to have the same function, which is to provide the power. These are not Angels we are dealing with here, that's obvious. The best way to describe them is that they are some sort of prototype." Fuyutsuki: "I suppose that they would have something to do with the Blue pattern we kept locating, then losing." Ritsuko: "Yes, sir. Every so often, the orb's S2 engine picks up and surges, provides power almost identical to that generated by an Angel for a few minutes, and then seems to go into some sort of inactive mode where it cools down." Gendo (quietly): "Are they a problem?" Ritsuko: "No, sir. I have shut them down." Kaji (surprised): "Shut them down?" Ritsuko (amused): "There's a switch on the side of each one. It's clearly marked 'on' and 'off'." --- Later, after the rest of the staff have left, Fuyutsuki turns to Gendo. After a moment of thought, he gives voice to his fears. Fuyutsuki: "SEELE are not playing by the rules they hold so dear!" Gendo: "No, they are not. What are they doing?" Fuyutsuki (with a slightly agitated voice): "This is not supposed to happen. What the hell are they playing with weather control for?" Gendo: "Testing... but what? Us? The pilots? NERV? Or something else? For once, Professor, I don't know what is happening." Silence descends over the office, the distant walls hardly visible in the darkness, the ceiling depicting a pattern that may or may not be relevant any more. Fuyutsuki (tiredly): "What about the Second Child?" Gendo: "What about her? I can't allow a third of my advantage to become useless, can I?" Fuyutsuki: "No, of course you can't." Gendo: "Our own objective remains the same. We will simply have to treat this like we treat all our problems. After all, it's a proven method." --- Seven weeks later. Shinji is sitting on a secluded patch of grass during lunch time at school. Asuka is sitting in his lap and has one arm around his neck, while the other is squeezing his left hand on her lap. Two lunch boxes are lying next to them. Shinji: "I still remember Kensuke and Toji's faces when they first saw us together like this." Asuka: "Yeah. It's already been nearly two months." Shinji nods. Asuka takes a deep sigh. Asuka: "Say, Shin-chan." Shinji: "Hm?" Asuka (smiling): "What would you do if I was pregnant?" Shinji (chuckling): "Ha ha. I would buy us a big house with a lot of things inside. One of those very expensive houses out there, you know?" Asuka grins, takes his hand and gently sets it down on her stomach. Asuka: "Then you better start saving some money." Shinji goes pale. Very pale. Asuka: "Shinji?" Shinji (guessing her question): "Don't worry, Asuka... I'll be there for both of you." Asuka (giving him her most precious smile): "Thank you." With that, she puts her arms around his neck and leans over him. Their lips tenderly meet in their passionate embrace. Every time they kiss, the world disappears around them. They don't know exactly what love is, but they feel it deep in their hearts each time they're together, and that's all they need. They are far from and close to Eva at the same time. Among the battles between giant robots and unknown creatures, two teenagers are deeply in love. This isn't a crush, or an attempt to justify them having sex. They needed each other, and it took some time for them to realize it. The first thing that they thought about when they would close their eyes was each other... there was only each other, and that was enough for them. --- END --- Author's notes: Axel: "Okay, you'll probably ask, "who did what?" for this fic. Let me explain the scheme to you ^_^ Disaster first came out with a plot. Then I began writing. When I got to the first lemon scene, he wrote it, and then I retooled it, adding bits and pieces here and there. And it went like this for the rest of the fic. So, in a way, I think we can say that we each did 50%-50% for this fic. It's not entirely My work. It's Disaster's, too. Remember to send him a copy of any email you would send me about this fic." Disaster: "Don't forget the work we did during the pre-reading, Axel. A lot of roles changed about that time. Axel started modifing the lemon scenes and adding WAFFy elements whilst I started fleshing out the plot. We constantly modified each other's work as well. So the roles kinda overlapped and twisted into knots!" Axel: "I put a lot of effort into this fic. Same goes with Disaster, of course. We both tried to make it stand out from the tons of awful lemons we see nowadays. Except for a few of them, they're all pieces of shit." Watson: "After these two hashed out seven different pre-readers' drafts, some of which came about due to my own criticisms, Axel sent the final one to me so I could edit, polish and add a few tiny details to it, like I have previously done with his work. I caused Disaster some worry about what exactly I would be doing to his work, but I think he's happy with this. If he's not, I'm in big trouble." Disaster (Looking over the fic): "Hmmm, try as I might, I can't really come with an excuse to thwack you" (sulks) Axel: "Dave, what are you doing here? You're not an author!" Watson (sheepishly): "Well... I ate nearly all of Asuka's bag of popcorn, and she told me to buy her another one or she'd give me a vasectomy. Without anaesthetic. So, excuse me..." (Exits.) Disaster (grumbling): "WARNING. AXELs have been know to cause severe lack of sleep!!!" Axel: "And I'd like to say that the EVA Brand Condom obviously comes from Neon Genesis Evanjellydonut by Andrew Huang. Despite the comment about the slogan, it's a homage. Anyways, I hope you had a great read. The special thanks go to Alain Gravel, Juju/Asuka, Cedric Ranson and RG-01 for all the help they provided!

Disaster: "No Eva's were hurt in the production of this fic! ... Sorry, I just always wanted to say something like that!" *GRINS* Axel: "Ah, and on a final note, let me say that what happened to Asuka in the end was bound to happen. I mean, they had sex two times without being efficiently protected. Don't think of me as some kind of pervert who wants to get 14-year-olds pregnant :->" Disaster (guilty look): "Errrr, ummm no of course not Axel, heh..." See you soon!
